I was wondering if there was a setting I could apply or a zip I could flash to prevent the market from auto updating itself. I have all kinds of problems with market 3.44 crashing but not if I uninstall updates but it goes right back to 3.44 on its own.

I just tried that and no go. I deleted it with Root Explorer and then went and uninstalled market update. I then went into market and after that I went to applications and it had updated again.
vending updater might have installed in data/app look there

So I heard about the new swype and got the APk but when I try to install it says not installed. So I erased the original thinking that was the problem but now when I try to install any version I get the exact same message. Any suggestions?
Use root explorer and move it into system/app once it's there click to install.

Thanks for the help, it installed but now it force closes for everything, any other suggestions?
For those who been waiting to get into the beta, it's reopen to all. If you have the factory One still installed, you will have delete the swype apk, and the swype lib file. Reboot and install the swype installer and so on.
http://forum.swype.com/showthread.php?1976-Swype-Beta-OPEN-again!-Happy-Holidays-from-SwypeInc
Just note this:
If your phone came pre-installed with Swype
DO NOT download this beta (it won't work)

**Edit** Like others stated, you will have to uninstall the swype that came pre-installed before using the Beta. (I was already a beta user....)

all u have to do is uninstall the default one. I'm not having any problems.
Just curious, but since we MyTouch owners already have swype, what would be the point of joining the beta?

True, just use root explorer to move it over then reboot. Benefits would be to have the most up-to-date version and one with a voice button.

Some of us running CM6 lost swype, so this is the perfect alternative to getting swype back other than the ADB method.

I can uninstall the Swype that came with it and install the new beta, but the service force closes on me when it attempts to verify the license. Any suggestions?

U have to be rooted. Follow the first post. Delete the swype apk and the lib file, reboot, then install the beta
I think that may be the issue I was having replacing swype, I didn't delete the lib file. I may give it another shot tonight.

Yeah bro, the **** was driving me crazy since I got this phone. I delete the apk but mine wouldn't install. I was missing my swype with it mic
I have done everything the instructions say and during the licensing the Swype process "com.swype.android.inputmethod" stops unexpectedly.
I am rooted...i deleted the swype apk, the lib file and rebooted. I then installed it and I continue to have this problem.

Does anybody know if registering for the beta will interfere with the preinstalled version from working/authenticating? Or does the preinstalled version not need to to authenticate?

I don't why u would want to go back to the preinstalled one, but all u need is the apk and the lib, there's a thread here if u didn't back it up. There's no authentication
Am I suppose to be using the swype installer for this? That may be causing the problems.

OK, then I'm stumped again. Even when I try installing from a apk, it says it's going to replace a current application. I don't get that because I thought I removed swype. How can it replace something that's not there?
Update: After reboots and file deletions...it was finally able to authenticate. I don't know the exact steps, but it working now. Thanks for everyone's help.
i havent been around here for a long time. i just upgraded to workshed's gingerbread, and metamorphed darkhorse over it. i wanted to be extra fancy, so i went and tried to give myself a blueish market. the link in the darkhorse thread was broken, so i grabbed the blue market i had been using. i followed the instructions on the darkhorse page, which said to remove:
Vending.apk out of system/app
com.android.vending out of data/data
com.android.vending-1.apk out of data/app
from there i adb push'ed my Vending.apk to the proper place. but nothing happened on the phone despite confirmation via adb. i rebooted phone, still no luck.
i tried this over and over with different markets of all versions and colors. i tried adb push and adb install. nothing works... all i want is my market back.. can anyone help?
Reflash the gapps package and you should be back to normal.

Please flash a gapps zip, you can grab it in the same thread as you did gingerbread. You have to flash the gapps after you flash a rom, that will install ur market,etc.
forgot to mention, i tried that too! after flashing gapps failed i tried to pull the market from it and manually install it, to no avail..
All I can think of is to clear your phone off and redo it all without the theme. You could use blackened gingerbread.

****ing thank you
glad to help. trying to get that market to work has always been a pain before i stumbled on this. i'd like to know if there's a way to get it working without taking it out of system/app, but i'm not gonna complain about an extra step
Problem started when I tired running TiBu and superuser access was denied, pressed "problems" button, but that really offered not help...I have no idea why TiBu is being denied su access; busybox is installed and other apps requiring root are running just fine. I tried reinstalling busybox and su is denied as well. Opened su app and neither TiBu or busybox are on the list of apps...
I also did the normal uninstall and reinstall of TiBu...no luck
Any help would be much appreciated. I have checked forums and all that jazz and it's just not working.
Just to be sure do you get S-OFF at the top of your bootloader screen?

Same thing happened yesterday to me. Just uninstall the offending apps and reinstall. That's what worked for me.
I as well saw this recently with tibu. My solution, since a quick reinstall didn't work for some reason, was to clear the data for tibu. Next time I opened it root permissions were properly requsted.
How do you uninstall Su...it doesn't show up on the list of downloaded apps in settings/apps, also can't delete it when on the market or with the uninstall app...maybe with root explorer?
Truly appreciate all the help but I've tried all of the above multiple times with the exception of uninstalling Su and no luck...now it seems any new app that requires permission is not granted--tried downloading my back up root and access was denied still looking for a solution....Thanks

It's funny because I installed it once but yesterday I installed the alien Rom because I couldn't install the Camera.apk file so I just started from scratch installing a Rom with the camera.apk already install........so I went to the market and see it's the new one, I hate it.......so I went to applications and deleted market/ the update market file too........then place older version of android market in system/app (r/w) using supermanager and also selected the permission button. Then clicked install. "application not installed"!!!!!! Really so then I was without a Market app so I had to reinstall the Alien Rom. Things are so complicated with this device the Evo you could just replace the apk you're good to go. Deoxed
update: I got it. talk about head------ache. all I did was deleted the market app and replace with the "right" old market.apk file. then i had to delete the updater market.apk file because it kept updating the market app. so I did that and got a error type message which closed the market app down. so Then i went installed the update market.apk file again which didn't install so I said screw this deleted the update market.apk file went back to market app and it works now.... so I dunno
update2: I knew it was too good to be true. Yeah the market.apk installed right but it doesn't download apps. I also tried different market.apk version, then it force close again. Screw this i'm just going to find another Rom that hopefully let's you simply install a APK file. after googling, all this stuff about use ADB/android SDK to install a simple apk app this isn't for me. *sad face So yeah I'll just settle with the new android market forget customizing my phone yep.......

just "push" it to system/app? I heard that term before but not really sure what you mean unless just drop the market.apk file off in system/app without installing it. Well right now I have the new android market installed with the update.apk file.
Push/Copy. Same thing really, you should just be able to delete out the app and copy the old market into /system/app. Might not hurt to delete the market in the davlik cache as well.

10 posts? umm yea lol. well what I did was went to supermanager(explorer) then went to the old market.apk that's on my sd card click installed ----> "application not installed" maybe I have to install directely on the phone? Ok let's try that--------> "application not install" like does the photon require a "special" type of apk app that only works on the Photon. gosh. Like does your rom have to be doexed or something?
I'm running Alien1 rom......but can someone help because now I'm without android mark
update: wait I think I'm getting somewhere. I deleted the market.apk app then paste the "older" version. then hit run and boom the newer version installed. hmmmmm must not have the right "old" version.
Not exactly sure what my post count has to do with anything. However I'm glad you figured it out. Just an FYI though, when you update an app that comes preloaded on a rom it won't replace that app instead it'll append a "1" onto the new filename and use that instead hence why you needed to delete the updated file before it would recognize the old market that you pushed into the /system/app folder.

10 posts or not, he seems to know more than you about this, and he is right.You take the apk file and move it to system/app in your phone memory. You can do this with adb push, or use root explorer to put it there. Don't assume that because someone has a low post count they don't know what they are talking about.
You can also uninstall updates from the application manager. It'll re-update to the latest release, though.

I already knew this. That's why i went ahead and replace the files. My problem was why isn't the app working correctly. That seems to be a buggy phone issue because the apk file is in system/app
you can always uninstall the market update then use titanium backup to freeze market updater. When I did it on my Photon I installed the older version of Market (2.2something...) and then used terminal to run about 3 commands that disabled market updater. cant for the life of me find the instructions I followed, but then perhaps my post count isnt high enough for the OP either. Because you know in order to know ANYTHING you have to have a high post count.
